Hi.
In my Tools->StartUp menu, I have selected an picture to be my program icon. The problem is that I can't seem to get it to look very good. It gets all blurry. I'm now asking if anyone can help me getting it right. Which format is the best (icon, bitmap)? Which size is the correct one? Does any one know?

I used to have a free piece of software that made ico files. You should be able to find one on the web somewhere. XP supports 256 colors. I think icons are pretty tough to do, all that representation of an object in such a small place...

I usually use .ico files that are freely (most of the time)available on the internet. They usually compress nicely to the smaller format that access uses for the form and report icons.

HTH,
Eric
